Drive Moment - Is It Cool Or Creepy, To Follow Your Friend’s Partner On Social Media?

Loading player...
Social media blurs friendship boundaries: should you follow your friend’s partner, and when they break up, do you quietly unfollow?

A UK survey found 62% of people unfollowed their friend’s ex out of respect for the friend
A US study showed about 40% of people check who unfollows after a breakup.

In South Africa, social media is a big part of relationships (Stats SA reports over 80% of internet users are active on social platforms), so “unfollow etiquette” hits home.
